Abstract
IrCl3(PEt3)3 is readily converted to IrHCl2(CO)(PEt3)2 by treatment with carbon monoxide in hot acetone, ethanol, or 2-methoxyethanol. Perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, and tetraphenylborate salts containing the [IrCl2(CO)(PEt3)3]+ cation have been prepared, but attempts to obtain salts containing the [IrHCl(CO)(PEt3)3]+ cation give only the neutral hydride, IrHCl2(CO)(PEt3)2. The reactions of [IrCl2(CO)(PEt3)3]+ with ethanol, water, lithium aluminum hydride, aqueous potassium chloride solution, and sodium alkoxides are described.Keywords
